A mho element is an impedance-based distance relay element that operates when the measured impedance from the relay location to the fault falls within a circle that passes through the origin on an R-X plot. ent still uses heavily filtered voltages and currents and operates on the order of one power cycle. In the second part of the paper, we explain the principles of time-domain distance protection based on incremental quantities, and opera ing by processing samples of voltages and currents without. Diagrams generated by computer simulations with actual examples are provided to dispel each myth.
